Wisconsin Still In Amc`s Plans

January 06, 1986

American Motors Corp. said Wisconsin remains among five finalists in a search for a factory site to replace an aging assembly complex in Kenosha. Wisconsin Gov. Anthony Earl called the report encouraging. The state wants to keep the 4,000 jobs on AMC`s Kenosha payroll. But AMC President Jose Dedeurwaerder said more layoffs are scheduled at the factory, among the nation`s oldest. Dedeurwaerder would not name the other finalists. AMC is to announce its decision in spring.
